Attributes without combinations

[necroshine]

Hi,

 

I need to add multiple attributes to a product but I do not need to have multiple combinations.

 

Ex:

 

Laptop Color (Black or White)

Mouse Color (Black or Gray)

 

I only need to manage stock of the laptop by color but I do not care about the mouse color.

 

From what I tested, currently I have to create combinations of all attributes, and that means I have to manage the stock for all the combinations

 

 

Any one knows a module that is capable of something like this?

 

 

Thnak You.

Hi,

 

A module is not enough. We must review the entire process if you want to simplify entering the stock.

 

The easiest way is to modiffier the PrestaShop core.

Thanks for your reply!

 

Although i'm a developer, i'm not familiar with Prestashop, but I think the module doesn't have to be that "radical"

 

Essentially whet I need, is a module that can add a combobox field or a color choice field on the product page for the buyer to choose, those fields don't need to be associated with the current prestashop attribute/combination system.

For example, modify prestashp core to assume -1 in stock to inhibite the stock behaviour.

 

Else, i hope you a good refactoring

There is a module that does this Attribute Wizard Pro by Presto Changeo with the intended purpose being to circumvent the issues that having too many combinations creates. For example, I have products that have 8-10 attributes with 3-10 options per attribute so the number of combinations grows quickly and PrestaShop has issues dealing with products that have more than 2500-3000 combinations.

 

I can't give you any guidance on how the module handles inventory since as a custom manufacturer the concept of stock makes no sense so I disabled inventory management.

Hey, don't know if it is to late... anyway

 

i had the same issue, wanted to associate mulitples colors on one product for a filter purpose, because i can have product with multiples colors, but no need to manage colors choices on the product page.

 

A quick (an dirty) solution is to add combination with single colors into your Product > Combination

 

 

Then add some quantities into it Product > Quantities

 

 

And finally, hack the product.tpl (i use default-bootstrap on Prestashop 1.6) around line 300 approx (i already modified it)

 

replace

{elseif ($group.group_type == 'color')}

by

{elseif ($group.group_type == 'color') && 1==0}

@Akelwood - I tried the above solution but it didnt work. The error I get on product detail page is "this combination is not available" and Add to cart button is hidden. Any solution?
